> **Draft / WIP.** Combined-billing **Mode A** (connected self-hosted). Entirely behind `stirling.billing.account-link.enabled` (default **off** → beans absent → 404). Pairs with Stirling-PDF-SaaS PR #313 (twin migration → `v3`). ## What this does A self-hosted instance links a SaaS account in the **Portal**, gets a **device credential**, and authenticates unattended metering/entitlement with it — no long-lived user JWT on the server. The Portal then surfaces the team's **billing** (free trial → metered Processor plan) driven by the live wallet. ```mermaid sequenceDiagram participant Portal as Portal (browser) participant Supa as SaaS Supabase Auth participant Local as Self-hosted backend participant SaaS as SaaS Java (app/saas) Portal->>Supa: signIn / signUp (Supabase JS, short-lived JWT) Supa-->>Portal: JWT (SDK-refreshed, stays in browser) Portal->>Local: hand JWT (same-origin) Local->>SaaS: POST /account-link/register (Bearer JWT, leader) SaaS-->>Local: { device_id, device_secret } (secret once) Note over Local: store device_secret server-side loop unattended Local->>SaaS: /api/v1/instance/** (X-Device-Id + X-Device-Secret) SaaS-->>Local: entitlement / gate decision end ``` **Auth model:** human auth = Supabase JS (ephemeral JWT, kept for attended portal features). Durable instance auth = a team-bound **device_id + secret** (SHA-256 stored, shown once), non-user `ROLE_LINKED_INSTANCE`, path-scoped to `/api/v1/instance/**`. Instance binds to a **team**, never a user. ## Billing surface (Portal · Mode A states) `Usage & billing` is state-driven by the link/subscription dimension and built to the marketing designs, sharing one component layer across states: - **Unlinked** → link-account prompt. - **Linked · Free** — the *Processor trial*: a one-time 500-PDF free grant ("Process 500 PDFs free, then $X/PDF"), the team's free-editor fleet, and a leader-only **Switch on the Processor →** (embedded Stripe Checkout). - **Linked · Subscribed** — the *Processor plan* dashboard: PDFs-processed split (API / Agents / Automation), **spend this month** vs. a **spend limit** meter with a run-rate projection and an **in-place cap editor** (preset buckets + suggested value + guardrail), Stripe **invoices** (with billed PDFs per invoice), and the default **payment method**. Card / subscription changes deep-link to Stripe's hosted portal. Manual PDF editing is always free — only Automation / AI / API is metered; a `$0` cap blocks all metered work (≠ "no cap"). **Shared, not duplicated:** the editor-fleet card, the Enterprise upsell, and the meter (`@shared/billing` `MeterBar`) render in both the free and subscribed views; money/cap math lives once in `@shared/billing`. The page header is a sticky, full-bleed bar. **New SaaS reads** (defensive — degrade to empty/"—" when the Stripe mirror lacks a table, never 500): - `GET /api/v1/payg/payment-method` — default card (brand / last4 / expiry) from `stripe.payment_methods`. - Invoice **PDFs processed** — billed line-item quantity from `stripe.invoice_line_items`. ## Progress - [x] Schema: `V22 linked_instance` (+ Supabase twin in #313) - [x] `AccountLinkController` register / list / revoke (leader-only, team from caller) - [x] Device-credential filter (path-scoped, constant-time, revocation-aware) + `SupabaseSecurityConfig` wiring (conditional) - [x] `GET /api/v1/instance/whoami` + **`/entitlement`** (reuses `EntitlementService`/`TeamBillingService`) + tests - [x] Self-hosted backend (`app/proprietary`): orchestrator + instance gate (dark + **fail-open**) + tests - [x] Portal: in-app Supabase login modal + register hand-off + `LinkContext` (unlinked default) + "Linked instances" view — all `@shared` Storybook components - [x] **Portal billing surface** — free (Processor trial) + subscribed (Processor plan) Usage views to marketing spec; link-state derived from the **live wallet**; in-place cap editor; over-cap banner - [x] **SaaS reads** — payment-method endpoint + invoice billed-units (defensive `stripe.*` mirror DAOs) + tests - [x] Orphan guard: block leaving/accepting away from a team whose departure orphans its linked instances - [ ] Metering Step 2 (lease + reconcile loop) + bounded fail-open cutoff - [ ] Proprietary hardening (SaaS base-url config, secret-at-rest, finer billable classification) + HTTP integration test - [ ] Cross-repo Stripe lifecycle certified end-to-end (subscribe → meter → cancel → 402) - [ ] Admin ⟺ SaaS-leader enforcement (separate portal-team-mgmt workstream) ## Verification — all green | Gate | Result | |---|---| | `STIRLING_FLAVOR=saas :saas:test` | BUILD SUCCESSFUL (account-link + payg, incl. `PaygPaymentMethodControllerTest`, `PaygInvoicesControllerTest`) | | `:proprietary:test` | BUILD SUCCESSFUL (account-link + entitlement cache/interceptor) | | portal | tsc 0 · eslint 0 · **vitest 55** · storybook build (all billing stories) | | frontend post-sync | typecheck shared + portal + editor (saas + desktop): 0 | ## Screenshots — billing UI _Latest Storybook renders (Portal/Billing).

Re-verified including an assertion the link response carries no `deviceSecret`/`deviceId`. **Synced onto unified auth + in-app login (2026-06-23).** Merged `main` incl. **#6725 unified auth** (`frontend/shared/auth`); the link flow uses a shared `useSupabaseLogin` hook + `SupabaseLoginForm`, a portal `LinkAccountModal`, and `useAccountLink.completeLink(session)` (+ on-mount SSO redirect-return). Config: `VITE_SAAS_SUPABASE_URL` + `VITE_SAAS_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY`. The local `/account-link/link` call carries the Spring admin bearer with the SaaS JWT in the body. **SSO** needs the SaaS Supabase project to allow-list the portal redirect URL (email/password works without it). ## Assumptions / open - **Proprietary remains a scaffold** (placeholder SaaS base-url, plaintext device secret at rest, coarse billable classification). - Payment-method + invoice-quantity render only when `stripe.payment_methods` / `stripe.invoice_line_items` are in the Sync-Engine target (confirm in the Supabase/Sync-Engine config); otherwise they degrade gracefully. - A self-contained local HTML report + manual E2E runbook live in `notes/account-link-report/` (dev artifacts, outside the repo). --------- Co-authored-by: James Brunton <jbrunton96@gmail.com>
Frontend
All frontend commands are run from the repository root using Task:
task frontend:dev— start Vite dev server (localhost:5173)task frontend:build— production buildtask frontend:test— run teststask frontend:test:watch— run tests in watch modetask frontend:lint— run ESLint + cycle detectiontask frontend:typecheck— run TypeScript type checkingtask frontend:check— run typecheck + lint + testtask frontend:install— install npm dependencies
For desktop app development, see the Tauri section below.
Layout
frontend/ is a workspace containing one or more apps. Today it holds the
PDF editor under frontend/editor/; new apps (the developer portal, etc.)
will sit alongside it as siblings. Shared tooling — package.json, node_modules,
.storybook/, ESLint, Prettier — lives at frontend/ so every app installs
once and lints with the same config.
Environment Variables
The editor's environment variables live in committed .env files at
frontend/editor/:
.env— used by all builds (core, proprietary, and as the base for desktop/SaaS).env.desktop— additional vars loaded in desktop (Tauri) mode.env.saas— additional vars loaded in SaaS mode
These files contain non-secret defaults and are checked into Git, so most dev work needs no further setup.
To override values locally (API keys, machine-specific settings), create an uncommitted sibling editor/.env.local / editor/.env.desktop.local / editor/.env.saas.local. Vite automatically layers these on top of the committed files.
Docker Setup
For Docker deployments and configuration, see the Docker README.
Tauri
All desktop tasks are available via Task. From the root of the repo:
Dev
task desktop:dev
This ensures the JLink runtime and backend JAR exist (skipping if already built), then starts Tauri in dev mode.
Build
task desktop:build
This does a full clean rebuild of the backend JAR and JLink runtime, then builds the Tauri app for production.
Platform-specific dev builds are also available:
task desktop:build:dev # No bundling
task desktop:build:dev:mac # macOS .app bundle
task desktop:build:dev:windows # Windows NSIS installer
task desktop:build:dev:linux # Linux AppImage
JLink Tasks
You can also run JLink steps individually:
task desktop:jlink # Build JAR + create JLink runtime
task desktop:jlink:jar # Build backend JAR only
task desktop:jlink:runtime # Create JLink custom JRE only
task desktop:jlink:clean # Remove JLink artifacts
Clean
task desktop:clean
Removes all desktop build artifacts including JLink runtime, bundled JARs, Cargo build, and dist/build directories.
